Synopsis

The story of a young, idealistic teacher who enters Shirokin Gakuen
with hopes of making a difference in the students' lives. However,
Yamaguchi Kumiko (Nakama Yukie)
is in for a rude awakening when she finds that she will be the homeroom
teacher of 3-D, the hardest class to maintain in the school. The
students have multi-colored hair, sloppy uniforms, and show absolutely
no respect to her. The leader of the class, Sawada Shin is lazy but
bright and shows some interest in Yamaguchi when he notices that she is
very different from other teachers. The students try to bully her to
make her quit, but their attempts don't get them very far.
What the class and the rest of the school does not know is that
Yamaguchi Kumiko is actually the 4th generation heir to the Ooedo Group,
a notorious yakuza clan. Even though her family would like her to take
the title of Ojou when her grandfather dies, they have accepted the fact
that Yamaguchi would rather be a teacher.
Eventually, the students learn to respect their quirky teacher
because of her devotion to them, and even give her a nickname: Yankumi.

Notes

Gokusen is an abrevation of Gokudo no Sensei which means Gangster Teacher.

Teruo Kumai is nicknamed "Kuma" (Bear) not only because it's a

derivative of his last name, but also because he tends to look, act and

eat like a bear.

In epi. 11, Yankumi confiscated mangas from her students. Two to three of those were Gokusen mangas.

The Graduation Special was aired later in March 2003.

Synopsis

Half a year has passed and Shirokin Gakuen has closed down. Yamaguchi Kumiko (Nakama Yukie)
finds herself a teacher of a few young kids who don't really benefit
much from her style of teaching. Through some twist of fate, she is
offered a job as a teacher in Kurogin Gakuen.
She becomes the teacher of a delinquent 3D class which make her
previous students look like angels. In order to protect her job, she
must again hide her true identity — the fact that she is the 4th
generation of the Oedo Family, a prominent yakuza group.

If you take a look around the classroom during episode 10, you
can see a lot of cartoons of Yankumi. There's some at her podium,
board, left side of wall when facing class, and the wall right behind
the students as you are facing them.

Synopsis

Sawatari Goro now works at Akado High School as a vice principal.
Although the head director of the school board speficically orders him
to handle the problematic class 3-D, the students are just too much for
him. So Sawatari goes far away to a southern island to search for
Yankumi, and convince her to work for Akado. Yankumi accepts the offer,
only to find that her class (again) is full of punks, where two rival
groups of students are always at each other’s throats. Will Yankumi’s
strong belief in students and teaching work this time?
